  • The Sovereign's Birthday Parade
    THE SOVEREIGNS’ BIRTHDAY PARADES - SNAPSHOTS OVER TWO CENTURIES By Colin Dean, former Band Secretary, Irish Guards The origins of the parade popularly known as Trooping the Colour are believed to date from around the beginning of the nineteenth century. Guard Mounting took place daily on Horse Guards Parade prior to the King’s (or Queen’s) Guard for the day marching to St. James’s Palace (later Buckingham Palace) to take over the duties. The custom developed of augmenting this parade on the Sovereign’s birthday by including the flank companies from the three regiments of the Brigade of Guards, as well as the Household Cavalry who took part prior to riding under the arch to become the King’s (or Queen’s) Life Guard. King George III 1809: A report in the Morning Post of the 19th January 1809 makes what appears to be the first documented reference to the three Foot Guards bands being together on Horse Guards Parade: ‘Yesterday morning the Duke of Gloucester attended with the Dukes of York and Cambridge, on the Parade in St. James’s Park, to inspect the battalion of Grenadiers*, previous to their mounting guard. At the same time a very novel and grand military spectacle was exhibited, as we believe, never was displayed before; the whole of the numerous Bands of the three regiments of Foot Guards attended, with new state uniforms on. The first and second Bands wore new jockey velvet caps; the three Bands marched as far as the entrance to the Stable-yard; the first and third Bands went on with the King’s Guard, and the second proceeded to the Queen’s Guard, near the Queen’s Palace’.

  • The Rifles' History 1685 to 1800
    The Rifles’ History “Pride of Regiment and love for the Regiment’s history and tradition is the sacred Ark of the Covenant on which the British soldier depends in battle and on which Britain, through him, has again and again survived and won through to victory” Sir Arthur Bryant The Rifles’ History can be traced back to 1685. 1685 to 1800 The Battle of Sedgemoor 6th July 1685 Like many of the modern regiments of the British Army, The Rifles can trace its roots back to the 17th and 18th Centuries. In fact the birth of The Rifles goes back to 1685, when – following the suppression of the ‘Monmouth Rebellion’, the Duke of Beaufort and the Earl of Huntingdon raised Regiments, which were to become the 11th (North Devon) and 13th (Somerset) Regiments of foot in order to secure King James II position on the throne. However, it was the British Army’s experience of irregular warfare in North America during the Seven Years War – as brought to the cinema screens by the film ‘Last of the Mohicans’ – that forced it to develop light infantry to counter the threat posed by their American, French and native Indian foes. The tactics of column and line used by line infantry were not suited to the close and wooded country found in North America where rebels used lighting tactics to attack vulnerable bodies of men as they marched across hostile territory. Initially colonists and Indians were used as scouts before two Regiments were raised in 1755 as light infantry. One of these was the 85th (Bucks Volunteers).

  • The Regimental Band of the Coldstream Guards
    THE REGIMENTAL BAND OF THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS The regiment was formed in 1650 by George Monck, a General in Oliver Cromwell’s “New Model Army” and can therefore claim to be one of the oldest regiments in the world. In 1661, shortly after the restoration of the monarchy, they were re-commissioned by King Charles II as household Troops and from the town of Coldstream, which lies just inside Scotland near Berwick- Upon-Tweed where it was first formed. From the earliest days the Regiment had drummers and a “Band of Music” from 1742. This was in fact eight civilian musicians who were hired by the month by Officers of the Regiment to provide music for the Changing of the Guard at St James’ Palace. When, in 1785, the musicians were asked to perform at an aquatic excursion to Greenwich, they declined on the grounds that the performance was “incompatible with their several respectable and private engagements”. This was too much for the officers who asked the Duke of York, Colonel of the Regiment, for a regular attested band. He agreed and from Hanover in Germany sent twelve musicians under the direction of Music Major C G Eley. The instrumentation consisted of two oboes, four clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, one trumpet and a Serpent. The date of the band’s formation was May 16th 1785. In 1815, the year of the Regiments distinction at Waterloo, the total strength of the band was increased to twenty-two by the addition of flutes, key bugles and trombones. In the same year the band went abroad for the first time when it was ordered to Paris for duty with the Allied Army of Occupation.
